Working on Sound of Snare Drum

 

Solo your snare track and listen carefully to this track. Consider the following suggestions:

  • If you want to add "snap" to the snare sound, try boosting the high-mids (around 5 kHz)
  • If you want more "air" to the sound, try boosting the high frequencies (around 12 kHz)
  • If you want to add more "body", try boosting the low frequencies (around 160 Hz)

 

Use a compressor to even out the dynamic range of the track. Try a ratio around 3:1 and experiment with the attack and release. Don't make them too drastic. A medium attack and a fast release are common settings, but this can vary depending on the genre and desired sound. For added punch without losing dynamics, consider using parallel compression — blend a heavily compressed snare signal with the original.

 

Add a short reverb to create a sense of space. Adjust the reverb time and mix level to ensure it adds depth without washing out the snare. Use pre-delay to keep the snare punchy while still adding reverb tail.
